This doesn't sound like an error message from DJGPP.  I suspect that
you have some incompatible version of cpp.exe sitting on your PATH
before the DJGPP's one.

If this doesn't help, add -v to the compiler switches and post here
everything that the compiler prints.

Oh, and be sure to download and install the latest version of RHIDE
(the DJGPP FAQ has the URL in section 4.4).
